So. I'm going to make this clear here, since I had a reminder elsewhere that some people think they're entitled to tell an artist everything that's "wrong" with a piece, in said artist's own space.
If someone does not EXPLICITLY consent to criticism on a piece of art - whether that is writing, traditional media art, digital art, fiber art, ANY ART - then criticising their work to their face is FUCKING RUDE. And a violation of their boundaries and a blatent failure to obtain consent.
Art existing in the world is NOT consent to criticism. No, not even so-called constructive criticism.
I very explicitly DO NOT consent to criticism on ANYTHING I post to AO3. Or publically here or on my fic com.
If I want critical feedback on works posted to my circle only (or to members only on my fic com), I will ASK for it (there's a tag for it, even!). The only exception to that is for specific people who I have known for years, either online or in brickspace or both. Who hopefully already know who they are, as I have asked them for critical feedback privately.
And that is the explicit laying out of my boundary on feedback. Just so everyone is clear on it.
